BBC Sportscene host buts in to call out Rangers star v St Mirren, he’s not having it

BBC Sportscene host Steven Thompson criticized a controversial penalty decision involving James Penrice during Rangers' 2-0 Scottish Premiership win over St Mirren. Referee Nick Walsh awarded the penalty after Penrice went down under contact in the box, a call supported by VAR. Thompson argued on the broadcast that minimal contact was made and suggested the dramatic fall influenced the referee's decision.

Ibrox News defends Penrice, arguing that modern players are forced to go down to win rightful penalties following clumsy challenges. Ryan Naderi and Dan Neil scored the goals to secure victory for Derek McInnes's side in Paisley ahead of the November international break. The outlet asserts the incident attracted heightened scrutiny primarily because it involved Rangers.
